Well, I have neither the time nor inclination to state them all, but the one I was referring to was her misstatement about the purpose of Paul Revere’s ride.
LOL, you mean the part where Revere was stopped by British officers an at gunpoint, warned the Brits that the Colonists were well armed and in number?
That was the main media thrust and Palin was exactly correct in saying that.
What I heard in her statement was someone that knew the history and made a quick summarizing quip, the media chose to attempt to make it a gaffe, the way that you are.
How on earth can anyone who spends any time at all on this forum be so uninformed?
From Paul Revere's personal account of his famous ride:

Letter from Paul Revere to Jeremy Belknap, circa 1798
"I observed a Wood at a Small distance, & made for that. When I got there, out Started Six officers, on Horse back, and orderd me to dismount;-one of them, who appeared to have the command, examined me, where I came from, & what my Name Was? I told him. it was Revere, he as- ked if it was Paul? I told him yes He asked me if I was an express? I answered in the afirmative. He demanded what time I left Boston? I told him; and aded, that their troops had catched aground in passing the River, and that There would be five hundred Americans there in a short time, for I had alarmed the Country all the way up.
He imediately rode towards those who stoppd us, when all five of them came down upon a full gallop; one of them, whom I afterwards found to be Major Mitchel, of the 5th Regiment, Clapped his pistol to my head, called me by name, & told me he was going to ask me some questions, & if I did not give him true answers, he would blow my brains out."
